Your string hand is recoiling to the side rather than straight back. This indicates that you are pulling mainly with your arm muscles rather than your back muscles. In terms of the USA Archery shot sequence, you are skipping the “transfer to hold” step where you should be transferring the weight of the bow to your back muscles as you rotate your string elbow around behind the arrow.
In terms of Terry's form clock, you are not in good alignment because your string elbow is outside the line of the arrow when you release the shot. Terry describes a “J” shaped pull, where the vertical part of the J happens as you are drawing the arrow back, and the curved part at the bottom of the J, which you are missing, is where your string elbow stops moving back and instead moves in a circular path around behind the arrow.
If you are plucking, transferring the weight from your arm muscles to your back muscles should take care of that too. You will know you're doing it right when your string hand naturally moves straight back after the shot is released without your having to force it.
